Henrik Ibsen

A Doll's House (Annotated) Henrik Ibsen

A masterpiece of theatrical craft which, for the first time portrayed the tragic hypocrisy of Victorian middle class marriage on the stage. The play ushered in a new social era and "exploded like a bomb into contemporary life". This edition includes a detailed biography of the author as a final chapter.

This is the story of a marriage that superficially seems happy, but a critical turn of events reveals a sham relationship. A Doll's House is a three-act play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. The play is significant for the way it deals with the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world, despite the fact that Ibsen denies it was his intent to write a feminist play. It aroused a great sensation at the time, and caused a "storm of outraged controversy" that went beyond the theatre to the world newspapers and society.

Ibsen's famous A Doll's House is a landmark in the development of truly independent female heroines, rejecting the patriarchy they were socialised to accept unconditionally. Click BUY NOW and grab your copy of this beautifully written, serious, intense, and somber play.
